What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €98,000 for 70 m², the apparent price is €1,400/m²; treating this as a rustico requiring major restoration adds roughly €77,000, or €2,500/m² effective. The baseline is weak (median €362/m² from only 22 listings), while missing condition and building data and the remote car-free access make this a risky, not clearly attractive deal.
More on the house and the area
The setting is exceptional, with dramatic Alpine scenery, larch-covered mountains, traditional stone-and-timber buildings and a rare car-free village location. However, the photographed structures are essentially old farm outbuildings with raw interiors, no visible modern living facilities and significant roof/timber deterioration, so this is a chalet-creation project rather than a usable home today.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €41,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- This is a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home: interiors appear raw, rustic and largely unused.
- Several roofs and timber elements look aged and may require substantial structural repair.
- Chamois is completely car-free and accessible only by cable car or on foot, which may complicate materials, construction and everyday logistics.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 78/100The cluster is in the Valtournenche side valley under the Pennine Alps, with Monte Zerbion above the area and the Matterhorn/Cervino group dominating the upper valley views farther up. The Marmore stream runs down the valley below. The area sits within the mountain belt that leads to Breuil-Cervinia, and the nearest major ski domain is Cervinia-Valtournenche at roughly 25–35 km by road depending on the access point. Châtillon is the nearest town of size, with rail access, shops and services, and Saint-Vincent is nearby with additional services and the casino. The area is known for alpine pasture, larch woodland and the long-established mountain tourism of the Cervino valley.
